Terry Bradshaw, 78, on Why He Has No Set Plans to Retire: ‘I Know People Are Saying, “Time to Move On” ‘ (Exclusive)

NEED TO KNOW

• The former NFL quarterback has been an analyst for Fox NFL Sunday since 1994
• Bradshaw says he remains energized by football and enjoys working alongside newer on-air talent like Rob Gronkowski
• His new memoir, Looking for Terry, explores his career and life beyond football

Terry Bradshaw has “got more in it,” he promises.

The NFL champion is relishing that he’s still doing the job he loves after over three decades as an analyst for Fox NFL Sunday.

“I know at 78 years of age, I’m down the straightaway,” Bradshaw says in an interview with PEOPLE for this week’s issue. “And I know people are saying, ‘Time to move on.’ And I’m going, ‘From what? I got as much energy as anyone. I’m just as good at doing my job as I’ve ever been. I’m just as curious about my job as I’ve ever been.’ ... There’s nothing about football and doing a football show I don’t like.”

Bradshaw retired from the NFL in 1984 and began his broadcasting career shortly after as an analyst for CBS. When Fox secured NFL rights in 1994, he joined the network and never looked back.

In his new memoir, Looking for Terry, Bradshaw affirms that he wants to keep appearing on Fox NFL Sunday as long as possible, writing, “I would do most anything for that show.”

He appreciates that Fox NFL Sunday “keeps it fresh” with new on-air talent, like Rob Gronkowski, and is glad to be along for the ride.

Bradshaw says he often quotes Val Kilmer’s character Doc Holliday in 1993’s Tombstone: “ ‘I’m just reaching my prime.’ I love it. I love that.”

“That’s kind of the way I look at it,” he explains to PEOPLE.

Bradshaw also counts himself as “lucky” because of the numerous post-football career opportunities he’s had, including acting, horse breeding at his Texas ranch, performing as a musician and traveling the country as a motivational speaker.

Slowing down, he says, is “not for me.”
